some recent studies
heres something I started today than took a break for half hour or so and did a armor study for fun.
critz welcomed
just some characters for fun
LOVE your creature concepts! You have a really good grasp on lighting too, something I don't have at all haha. Your armor study is really beautiful, I really like the earthen, worn look it has while still being highly reflective....as if it's been with it's owner for many battles but he keeps it well cleaned
The sea monster piece is by far my favourite...I love seeing the different stages that you must work at, shown within the piece
Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment Zepheenia, I appreciate the feedback. The sea monster is an unfinshed C.O.W entry the perspective is totally wrong cause it was an after thought but the creature was still decent looking though.
heres some sketches from today.
a quick photo study and a mech guy
a sketch before I go to sleep
lol,nice idea
my wip for this weeks C.O.W.
some character ideas, got to start making things look more finshed

Wow Nice start!
Sorry for the lack of posts lately.
Heres some skull photo studies.
first one was about an hour and a half
Another study for today.
nothing much today, character sketch and a little 3d guy Ive been trying to finish up.
Your work would benefit from working out the proportions a bit before hand... doing thumbnails and studies and so forth. Some of the forms (like the dragon's mouth) aren't relating to the rest of the figure, and some of the detail asserts itself much too strongly.
In Andre Lhote's seminal book "Treatise on Landscape Painting," he gives some golden advice
"...it is not pictures but experiments that should be made; when an experiment succeeds, it is bound to lead to a picture."
"...there are two sorts of artists: those who paint to make pictures and the more honourable who paint to learn how to paint."
It applies to making fine art... and surely if someone is being paid to make illustrations, they have to make pictures. But there's always an element of learning to whatever we do, I believe, and if we post our work here it's because we're trying to find a path to something better.
Good luck in doing so.
Thinking connects desire with creation.
How good are you?
The Road to Perdition
Thanks for the feedback P Sage I've been meaning to make a habit out of doing more thumbnails to explore more ideas sometimes I feel like I'm repeating myself.
The variety of your work is really great. I see you are interested in many different aproaches. Keep experimenting with new designs. Keep up!

Amazing colors.
man, I love your creature designs, they honestly astound me. I really like drawing creatures myself, so seeing your artwork is very inspirational to me

Thanks guys for stopping by and checking out my stuff.
Heres something I started today not sure how far I want to take it.
Hey, lots of awesome characters an creatures.
You have a lot of great ideas in here and you have some cool use of color in all your pieces. I really like that light red background contrasting with the dark purple and black on the dark elf looking character. Very cool feel. You have a pretty recognizable style with your use of color, keep it up and keep pushing.
Edit: Thanks for the sketchbook comment!
alien character and generic head portrait.
hey Chris, you have some awesome stuff in here man! really cool sketchbook, im actually surprised that more people arent leaving you comments on it. but, i really like the character work, and monsters, very cool. i would like to see you really push one of your designed to a higher level of finish. probably one of your characters, just stick with it, and really bang it up to a pro level, i think you could do it, and it would look sick!
Some Sketchbooks you should check out! --->
(expect this list to change alot)
Wow, awesome vivid works, cool creature design, so weird. Keep up like that!
some doodles...meh

"The steering of the ship which excited so much alarm when the ship got underway," Sailing Master John Robinson later penned in the log, "was much better after she got to sea than was anticipated." Edward R. "Ned" Myers, serving on the forecastle at that time, later would remember the Delaware as a man-of-war that "required some little time to get her trim and sailing. She turned out, however, to be a good vessel; sailing fairly, steering well, and proving an excellent sea boat." She also was, Myers remembered with some fondness, "the happiest ship I ever served in."

BWW Reviews: A.R.T. PIPPIN Talkback Coverage
At ART, a series of talkbacks between cast members and the audience was scheduled to be held on four dates after Saturday and Wednesday matinees. On Wednesday, January 9, after an early (noon) matinee, around a dozen cast members attended a 3:00 p.m. talkback, with the surprise presence of Pippin director Diane Paulus, who also addressed questions from the audience and shared opinions of her own. Much of the talk surrounded cast members' knowledge of the show prior to coming to it, and, not surprisingly, much also revolved around the planned transfer to Broadway at the Music Box Theatre, with previews opening on March 25.
Orion Griffiths, whose circus performances in the show had astounded the audience, revealed that he had come to the show with no knowledge of it. What he did know was circus stunts, and after a number of such had been written into the show. he offered a balancing act that he had already known how to perform. It was that act that had delighted the audience during the immediately preceding performance. Viktoria Grimmy, also a circus performer, agreed that she had also had little knowledge of the show before being called upon by Gypsy Snider of Montreal's Les 7 doights de la main (7 Fingers), who created the circus for the production. "It really is a brand new story every day," Grimmy says of the show. Several cast members noted that people who had heard they were going to be in Pippin had been excited for them -- but that they either didn't know or didn't remember anything about the story.
Tony-nominated Patina Miller, who stars as Leading Player, revealed that she had never bothered to notice Pippin prior to her involvement in the current production. "The Leading Player was a man. I knew there was no part for me in it, so I never paid any attention to it." Then she looked into Paulus' production. "It's been amazing."
Other performers added that the combination of the show itself and the circus performance worked into the show made the production particularly exciting for them, and according to performer Anthony Wayne. "We're here because we love it. This is always fresh because it's our passion."
Audience members commented that the new production is very different to the one that many remembered seeing in its first Broadway incarnation. Some lyrics have been changed, and according to one member of the audience, "It's so different seeing this in color, not as a black-and-white show." The circus metaphor incorporated by Paulus has turned the sets and costumes into a riot of colors and patterns very different from the original black costumes used in the original Bob Fosse production. Some other audience members described the original as "cheesy, schmaltzy '70's" that they did not feel had aged well as it had originally been produced. Cast member Stephanie Pope suggested that many of the licensed productions of Pippin have in fact been "cheesy", with "too much razzmatazz, poor choreography."
Questions from the audience also addressed the fact that the day's performance time had been adjusted because of the presence of a very large school group, and inquired whether other adjustments had been made to reduce the amount of potentially adult content in the show, particularly in the "The Flesh" scene. The cast and Paulus agreed that no effort had been made to alter the show's content to accommodate an audience with a high under-18 attendance. Students present in the audience expressed in response that they hadn't been disturbed by the content; rather, they had been impressed to see the way the scene had been staged and that they understood that what they were seeing was art and not reality.
Paulus addressed the challenges of merging circus and circus performers with musical theatre and with musical theatre performers. "It was amazing that everyone wanted to learn crossover skills. There were circus performers who wanted vocal lessons, actors who wanted circus training." The issues became "how does acrobatics serve the dance? How does dance serve the acrobatics? As a whole, they are something greater as a company." In discussing the performers' interaction with the audience, and with the audience responses to the circus performers, which are very much the way they would respond at a regular circus, "What I love about this show is that it breaks the fourth wall. Your presence makes the show happen."

About the Visitors Flow report
What is the Visitors Flow Report?
Visitors Flow is a graphical representation of the paths users took through your site, from the source, through the various pages, and where along their paths they exited your site.
A node represents: one value of the dimension by which you're filtering the visualization (first column); or a single page or collection of pages (for example, all pages in the wearables directory).
A connection represents the path from one node to another, and the volume of traffic along that path.
This visualization lets you see:
- The relative volume of traffic to your site by the dimension you choose (e,g., traffic sources, campaign, browser)
- The relative volume of pageviews per page or collection of pages
- Specific metrics for connections, nodes, and node exits when you hover over them

OP Gauss is a closed channel for Hardcore Ladder players on the Europe realm.
This information is important. If you want to become and remain a member of gauss, read it in full!
Who are we looking for?
Nice, legit D2 hardcore players who look for a safe community.
How can i join?
- Read the documentation (this post and the command list), it's annoying to tell everyone seperately how the channel works when there is good and short documentation.
- Accept the Rules: behave, so that the channel is a fun and safe place for all.
- Be a good citizen. Participate in the channel, help others, get involved!
- Never message the gauss password to anyone and anywhere. If you do, you will possibly get exiled or at least timebanned for a week.
- Don't grab. If you are in a run, the runner normally has first pick at drops. In normal games, ask. If you picked it up anyway, DON'T IDENTIFY IT and ask for it.
- Don't cheat. And no, there are no harmless cheats.
- Don't pk unfairly.
- Get a vouch by a senior member or op of the gauss channel. Sorry, but this is necessary.
- Post in the gausschannel members forum, including a paragraph of readable text with decent spelling where you introduce yourself.
D2 history:
Why do you want to join:
Who told you about Gauss and got anyone who can vouch for you:
- Ask your voucher to reply to your post.
When can I use the channel?
Wait for a reply to your post. Don't enter the channel before the reply! The bot will kick and ban you right away.
How do I get started?
After you have been added, just "/join op gauss". You will get a greeting information from the bot:
- Join the gausschannel members forum
- Check your .rank and ask to get promoted to newcomer, if you are not already. Otherwise, you can't use the .password and entering gauss games will get you, and the one who told you the password, banned.
- Get to know the members of the channel, you can use .meminfo to see how trustworthy someone is. Get involved in the channel, leechers will be removed.
- use the .help command for pointers.
- Right click on the bot to get some important commands.
Rules for ops:
- only add people who have a vouch from a senior member
- promote known people with no rank to newcomer
I have more questions!
Ask in the channel, or search this forum for gauss commands.
One last thing...
In your application, state that you have read and understood the gauss channel rules and information. If you don't do this, you application can be rejected with "Gauss error #1". Also, you will be laughed at if you say you did not know the rules.

Interests: I like the nature a lot and I often take long walks. I also enjoy fishing very much, though I'm by no means a shark (hehe).

I don't frequent the channel much, but if you need a rush or some help with muling or WPs or something similar, I am online quite often and usually ready to help. Feel free to whisper any time. I play 2 accounts on 2 computers, so rushing is quite easy - but know though that (being old) I tend to play patiently and with caution.
Regards Tom
[The people who can vouch for me, no longer frequent the channel :\]
#EDIT: Forgot to mention my Windy Druid (75). I never use him though, as he just dosen't kill as fast as the hammer. I may take him a few levels higher, when I get extremely bored one day.

I distinctly remember when i bought Diablo2, my girlfriend at the time was giving me hassle when i said i wanted to buy it because apparently i was "wasting my money". Anyway, like us blokes do, i ignored her comments and spent £35 on Diablo2. Took the game home and started slaying some demons. My girlfriend sat and watched for a while, then said "erm. . . can i have a go?"
From that moment on i couldnt get her off the damned thing!!
I used to play barbs all the time, since my computer is too slow to use a necro, or to tele with a sorc. Now i have an addiction to obscure builds, and am currently not seeking any treatment for it
Alot of people in the channel will know of me, and i'm always willing to help where i can, always chatting in the lobby, and yes guys, almost always afk for a schmoke
Anyway, I'll see you all in the lobby. Stay safe everyone!

Rick Scott is about to make history as the very first governor to reform voting — and then unreform it.
After cutting early voting, he now wants to expand it.
He's the hero … to his own villain. And it's getting to be a trend.
Remember when he wanted credit for boosting school funding … after first cutting it?
Or his complete about-face on immigration? (Vowing to crack down on hiring illegal immigrants during the campaign and then calling such a crackdown "foolish" after he got elected.)
I'm all for enlightenment and evolution of thought, but this looks more like your basic flip-flop.
As a matter of fact, it looks more like … dare I say it? … Charlie Crist.
Yes, Crist has long been viewed as royalty when it comes to reversals — the prince of pandering, if you will.
Yet Scott seems eager to seize the throne as the king of contradictions.
And now there's talk about these two floppers actually facing each other in 2014?
Can you imagine what that would look like?
I can …
[Lights fade and then come up on the stage of the 2014 Florida gubernatorial debate between Republican Rick Scott and Republican -- er, independent -- um, Democrat Charlie Crist.]
Jim Lehrer: Governor Crist, when it comes to oil drilling off Florida's coast, are you for or against?
Charlie Crist: Yes!
Lehrer: I'm sorry?
Crist: (With wide smile and earnest eyes.) I said yes, Jim.
Lehrer: Um … but that's not an answer.
Rick Scott: Jim, I hate to interrupt, but I think it is. In fact, it's the same answer I have for early voting.
Lehrer: You're both for and against?

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As the New Year begins, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) encourages customers to make emergency preparedness not only a resolution but one that comes with an action plan. Simple steps like preparing an emergency supply kit and making an emergency communication plan for the family can help keep loved ones connected and ready for a natural disaster.
Recent catastrophic events around the world serve as a reminder that first responders may not be able to respond quickly to everyone who needs help during times of crisis. Services that we have come so accustomed to expect -such as water and power-may not be available. Those are just a few reasons why personal preparedness is so important.
"Families are much safer and prepared during an emergency when they've established an action plan," said Barry Anderson, PG&E's vice president of emergency preparedness and response. "Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes so it is important to understand how you will get to a safe place, how to contact one another, and how to safely react in a variety of emergency situations."
A wealth of safety and readiness information, including tips on how to build a disaster supply kit and an emergency communication plan for your family, is available through PG&E's website, at http://www.pge.com/safety/preparedness/ and through the Federal Emergency Management Agency at www.ready.gov.
PG&E also provides the following important safety tips to keep customers safe during an electric or gas emergency:
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG), is one of the largest combined natural gas and electric utilities in the United States. Based in San Francisco, with 21,000 employees, the company delivers some of the nation's cleanest energy to 15 million people in Northern and Central California.

After snapping its six-game losing streak in its game against High Point, the James Madison men's basketball team will travel to Greensboro, N.C. to face UNCG on Wednesday, December 18th at 7 p.m. in the Greensboro Coliseum.
JMU improved its overall record to 3-8 with an 84-69 win over High Point Saturday night. After falling behind early at tip-off and trailing by 12 with just over two minutes remaining in the first half, the Dukes went on a 7-0 run to make it a 40-35 score at the break. Carrying that run into the second half, the run continued to the tune of an overall 15-2 stretch to take the lead on a three-point play by sophomore Taylor Bessick. The Panthers got ahead again shortly afterwards, but a basket by Andrey Semenov put James Madison on top for the remainder of the game.
Sophomore guard Charles Cooke continued his season growth by posting a career-high 25 points, five rebounds, two steals, two assists and a block to tally his tenth straight game in double-figures. Returning to his hometown, freshman Jackson Kent scored 10 with five rebounds and a career-high five assists. Sophomore Ron Curry added 10 points, four rebounds and three assists. Semenov accumulated 16 points, eight boards and three assists to leave him three points shy of the 1,000 point milestone, while Bessick posted 11 points, five rebounds and two blocks to contribute to the team's season-high 84 points.
In its last outing, the UNCG men's basketball team fell to Rutgers 89-72 on the road at the Rutgers Athletic Center, dropping to 5-6 overall. With a 19-point deficit at the half, the Spartans rallied in the second to get within single-digits but ultimately could not achieve the complete comeback. Junior forward Kyle Cain posted 18 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Freshman Tevon Saddler added 13 points, while sophomore Kayel Locke contributed another 11.
The Dukes are 5-0 against UNCG all-time. When the two teams met last season, JMU used a 20-point halftime lead to win 85-73. Devon Moore had one of his best career performances with 22 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and three steals, while Rayshawn Goins had a double-double with 23 points and 11 rebounds.
Following their game against UNCG, the Dukes will head to Richmond to play in the Governor's Holiday Hoops Classic against Hampton on December 21st at 3 p.m. The game will make the final contest in JMU's eight-game road trip as well as the first appearance in the Richmond Coliseum since clinching the Colonial Athletic Association title in March.

As the Purple Devils held a 7-1 lead with three minutes left in the first quarter, they began to stall, having Nicole Reaves dribble the ball near half-court for nearly two minutes as time ticked off the clock. But, when Ragland coach Rush Rutledge called a player to the bench to quickly discuss a plan, Spring Garden attacked, gaining all the momentum it would need to win the Class 1A Northeast Regional semifinals, 41-32.
"I wasn't really sure what was fixing to happen, but sometimes you just go with your gut," Spring Garden coach Ricky Austin said. "When they stood out there and held it that early, the score wasn't big enough for us to come out. The gut feeling was not to go. I was content to go ahead and let the time run out in the quarter. I wasn't willing to change the game just because they wanted to change the game.
"But, while that was going on every one of my players was looking at me like, 'When are you going to let us go, coach? When are you going to let us go?' When I saw the girl run over to the sideline, I said, 'All right, let's go, two-three trap.' Then, boom, it blew up like a stick of dynamite."
The attack turned the game from a six-point deficit for the Garden to an 11-7 lead at the end of the first quarter after it was almost a what-if situation. Austin added he wouldn't have told the Panthers to pounce if his team didn't keep looking for his command.
Spring Garden guard Haley Motes, who finished with four points and 11 rebounds, said the team's energy "just hopped up" after the charge, and with Ragland star Kailey Echols on the bench for the remainder of the half with two fouls, the Panthers extended their lead as the Purple Devils looked for a way to stop Spring Garden's offensive attack, led by Darian Gaines, who finished the contest with a team-high 11 points.
"As bad as we played, don't take anything away from Spring Garden," Rutledge said. "We've been over here the last six years and played them four of the six. I take nothing away from them, but tonight we didn't play well. We played poorly."
Even when Echols returned to the game, she was unable to get Ragland going, fitting in perfectly to the plan set in place by Spring Garden assistant coach Dana Austin. Echols ended the game without recording any points.
"I didn't even realize that," Austin said in his post-game press conference. "When we face a tough post player like Echols that's the No. 1 assignment. I've got to say something about Tori Pierce, who plays the middle. To play the point zone, you're middle has to be tough, physical and match anything that comes in the paint."
Spring Garden's lead hovered around 10 points throughout the second half before the Panthers became Austin's 11th team to advance to the Northeast Regional title game in the past 12 years.
The Panthers have won eight of their previous 10 trips. Spring Garden will face a familiar opponent in Cedar Bluff, which defeated Skyline 73-57 on Monday to advance. Austin's team has defeated the Tigers three teams this season, most recently in the championship game of the area tournament, 65-39, a week and a half ago.
"Cedar Bluff knows us, and we know them," Austin said. "They might have the best athlete in 1A basketball down there, Audrey Hargitt. She's got my vote it. She can change the game at any time.
"We just want to play, and we'll have to be ready for the first quarter next game."

Canumb aims to crunch data on various forms and turn them into something meaningful. A variety of inputs are currently supported, such as different number base conversions (decimal to hexadecimal, binary to hexadecimal, octal to decimal, etc.) and various encoded formats (a base64 encoder decoder and a URI encoder decoder). It's built to allow for extension when the future demands other input formats be crunched.
skd is a tool for the simple distribution of SSH keys in a growing environment. It allow you to create hosts, group them, and link that group a group of users with keys to easily distribute all affected keys. skd generates a DSA or RSA keypair, which is saved to its database and used as the authentication source for skd itself. This keypair can (and should be) additionally be encrypted using a passphrase. This allows you to simply add a user with their key and press one button to grant (and revoke!) the user's access to all needed hosts.
CDimg|tools is a set of commandline tools to inspect and manipulate CD/DVD optical disc images in formats uncommon on free Unix-like systems (like GNU/Linux or BSD). It makes it possible to convert .NRG Nero images, to demultiplex RAW+96 image files containing both stream data and sub-channel data, to decrypt CSS-scrambled VOB files, and to decrypt CSS-scrambled DVD Video image files.
STMX is a high-performance Common Lisp library for composable Transactional Memory (TM), a concurrency control mechanism aimed at making concurrent programming easier to write and understand. Instead of traditional lock-based programming, one programs with atomic memory transactions: if a memory transaction returns normally it is committed. If it signals an error, it is rolled back. Transactions can safely run in parallel in different threads, are re-executed from the beginning in case of conflicts or if consistent reads cannot be guaranteed, and effects of a transaction are not visible from other threads until committed. This gives freedom from deadlocks, automatic rollback on failure, and aims to resolve the tension between granularity and concurrency.
MOTDstat (Message Of The Day - System Status) will dynamically generate the /etc/motd file with current information about system status and usage. Using crontab, the script will periodically display the status of system resources and services. The original message of the day will be stored in the /etc/motd.orig file. Configuring an email address, you'll receive notifications about the following issues with configurable warning and critical limits: high CPU load, exceeding disk space, intensive usage of swap space, a specific process or network service not running, NTP not synchronized, and too many messages in the mail queue.
MailChariot's only mission is to get your incoming email (for example from /var/spool/mail), filter it through a spam filter, and put it into a spam or ham mailbox. If you don't agree with the spam filter's decision, you can move it to the notspam or notham mailbox and MailChariot will mark the message as ham or spam respectively. This design is mail client agnostic. It is ideal for use on shared hosts where the provided spam filtering is not effective enough.

Fargo Surgeon: Contentious divorce and custody battle led wife to accuse him of rapeFargo, ND (WDAY TV) – It is an extremely contentious divorce and custody battle. That's what a suspended Fargo surgeon says led his wife to accuse him of rape.
By: Travis Skonseng, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) – It is an extremely contentious divorce and custody battle. That's what a suspended Fargo surgeon says led his wife to accuse him of rape.
On Tuesday, 41 year old Dr. Jon Norberg pleaded guilty to misdemeanor sexual assault and felony reckless endangerment. It was an alford plea, meaning he doesn't admit guilt but admits there is enough evidence to convict him. Gross Sexual Imposition charges were dropped.
Dr. Jon Norberg admits to giving his wife propofol over 18 months, but says she agreed to it. Now, he's making shocking accusations of his own to clear his name.
DR. JON NORBERG - Fargo Suspended Surgeon: "I just never knew my wife, Alonna, would try to burn me."
In front of a slew of news cameras, Dr. Jon Norberg tearfully tries to put out a fire. One he helped start.
JON: "I cannot tell you how painful it is to have someone you loved accuse you of such terrible things. I did not and I never would do the things she accused me of doing."
After 15 years, Norberg says his wife's mental and physical issues and prescription drug addiction became too much. He threatened to divorce her and take their children, weeks went by.
JON: "Unknown to me, she had already met with her divorce attorney several times. After meeting with her attorney on June 16, 2011, she claimed I drugged her and sexually assaulted her that night."
The now suspended surgeon says Alonna wanted the upper hand in a divorce. He says the rape claim at their South Fargo home was all part of that strategy. The same place officers found 24 bottles of propofol.
JON: "Based on her previous experience as a sexual assault expert in criminal cases, she knew that by alleging drug-facilitated sexual assault, she could prevent me from having any custody of the children."
The once prominent doctor claims he only gave that powerful drug to his wife to treat her severe pain from a disorder. He says she was on more than 30 medications, and alternative treatments didn't work. It helped, but now Norberg believes he was set up.
JON: "I will be punished for my part in using propofol at home. I now realize her's was a problem I could not fix and it was a mistake to try. For this I am truly sorry."
We spoke with Sanford. Hospital officials tell us Dr. Norberg is still technically an employee. Both Alonna and her attorney declined to comment.
WDAY 6 News is learning Dr. Jon Norberg could be required to register as a sex offender. A Cass County judge is ordering a pre-sentence investigation. The papers were filed today.
Norberg will undergo a sex offender risk assessment by the Department of Corrections. Workers will look into his background and conduct interviews. A judge will ultimately decide if and for how long he may have to register.
GARY EUREN - Cass County Prosecutor: "There's no requirement that there's registration. It is optional with a judge. We have not requested that, but there is certainly the possibility of treatment being involved."
That investigation has to be done within 60 days. Norberg faces five years in prison.

Washington Township last week released to Patch Media Corp. police dashboard-camera videos that include the July 31, 2012, arrest of state Assemblyman Paul Moriarty on drunken-driving charges.
The Gloucester County municipality also released documents that reveal it was a call from a Washington Township police officer's cousin to the officer's personal cell phone that apparently set in motion the events that led to Moriarty's arrest.
Police documents also show the officer's relative indicated during a follow-up interview conducted nearly two months after Moriarty's arrest that he could not recall telling his cousin the assemblyman appeared to be drunk when he saw him.
Washington Township Police Det. Martin Calvello received information from his cousin, Ernie Calvello, the afternoon of July 31 indicating Moriarty was possibly drunk at the Turnersville Nissan dealership. Ernie Calvello is identified in police reports as a sales manager at the Black Horse Pike auto dealership.
"Ernest Calvello informed me Mr. Moriarty was inside the dealership causing a problem with a salesperson and was possibly under the influence of alcohol," Det. Calvello wrote in his supplementary report of Sept. 18.
Det. Calvello's report notes his cousin called him back a short time later to inform him Moriarty—the Democratic Fourth District assemblyman and former Washington Township mayor—had left the dealership "without further incident."
Det. Lisa Frattali's supplementary report indicates she overheard Calvello's phone conversation and "jokingly" relayed to Officer Joseph DiBuonaventura, whom she says she contacted to discuss another investigation, that she heard her colleague "talking to someone on the phone about Moriarty being drunk at Nissan."
It was DiBuonaventura who pulled over Moriarty's blue 2009 Nissan Murano in the Black Horse Pike Chick-fil-A parking lot on July 31. The officer claims he was "cut off" by Moriarty while traveling in the right lane of northbound Route 42 at approximately 3:53 p.m.
"After a minute or two I went back outside and contacted Ofc. DiBuonaventura again and advised him that I had limited information and only overheard that one thing from Det. Calvello and that I didn't know what was going on," Frattali's report states. "At no time did I instruct Ofc. DiBuonaventura to go to Nissan to investigate anything."
DiBuonaventura apparently took the conversation as instruction to find Moriarty, according to Fratalli's report.
"On 08/07/12 I received a phone call from Ofc. DiBuonaventura asking me to complete a supplemental report regarding our phone conversation of 07/31/12 and that I had sent him up to Nissan to investigate Mr. Moriarty being under the influence," the report states.
According to Det. Timothy Breen's synopsis of his Sept. 20 interview of Ernie Calvello, the Nissan sales manager's repeated response to questions about whether he had told his cousin Moriarty was drunk or had been drinking and about whether his boss had told him Moriarty was drunk or had been drinking was, "not to my recollection."
Det. Calvello's Sept. 18 supplementary report notes he contacted his cousin at DiBuonaventura's request the night of July 31 and was informed that "his superiors (at Turnersville Nissan) informed him and his co-workers not to provide any statements at this time."
DiBuonaventura claims in a supplementary investigation report that Ernie Calvello told him on Aug. 13 that his boss indicated to him that Moriarty was "smashed."
Calvello's boss, John Lasala, had left to take a job at a Nissan dealership in Exton, PA, by mid-August. Lasala told Breen on Sept. 19 "he could not ascertain whether or not Moriarty was intoxicated but repeated that there was alcohol on his breath."
Investigation turns to the arresting officer
On Aug. 15, superior officers told DiBuonaventura to stop investigating the Moriarty case, as he had become the focus of an internal affairs probe.
Moriarty signed 27 complaints against DiBuonaventura on Oct. 16, 2012. A municipal court judge ruled the next week there was probable cause on 13 of those complaints, including allegations of official misconduct and multiple counts of filing false reports, falsifying reports, and false swearing.
"I feel like you're out to get me or something," the assemblyman told DiBuonaventura as he was being put through field sobriety tests in the Chick-fil-A parking lot.
"Why would I be out to get you?" DiBuonaventura responded.
While at the police station being processed, Moriarty told police on at least two occasions that he had used an antiseptic throat spray earlier in the day, according to Cpl. Nick Myers' supplementary investigation report.
"Ofc. DiBuonaventura read the full text of the Implied Consent form to Mr. Moriarty. Mr. Moriarty replied no, indicating that he refused to provide samples of his breath. He again referenced his earlier use of an antiseptic throat spray, expressing concern that it could interfere with the test results," Myers' report, dated July 31, states.
The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office is currently reviewing both the complaints signed by Moriarty against DiBuonavetura, who is suspended without pay, and Moriarty's DWI case.
Moriarty shared a portion of the dashboard camera video with media on Oct. 19 shortly after he and his attorney, John Eastlack Jr., received copies from Washington Township. Gloucester Township Patch was not invited to the press conference at which Moriarty disclosed the video.
The media outlet initially filed an Open Public Records Act request for video from Moriarty's arrest on July 31, hours after the legislator was taken into police custody in the Black Horse Pike Chick-fil-A parking lot. The township denied the request, prompting Patch to sue for the release of the video and other records sought in the initial OPRA request.
On Dec. 14, New Jersey Superior Court Judge Georgia M. Curio ruled in favor of Patch.
"This is a situation of public concern. The individual who was stopped and is the subject of the dashboard video and the reports is an elected official currently," said Curio, the assignment judge for the court district covering Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem counties. "Obviously, the conduct of a public employee, a police officer, is of concern and interest to the public. When we view that against the backdrop of the stated purpose of OPRA and furthering an informed public, clearly the public interest would be served by granting access."
Clarification: This article, as originally published on Jan. 3, 2013, indicated Assemblyman Paul Moriarty refused a blood-alcohol content test on July 31 because he had used an antiseptic throat spray earlier in the day. A police report indicates Moriarty referenced his use of the throat spray and expressed concern his use of the spray could "interfere" with the test.
This version of the article has been clarified.

Scientists Report Efficient "Gene Silencing" Strategy
Treatments for cancer, AIDS and a host of other diseases may lie in scraps of hairpin-shaped RNA.
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have successfully co-opted a natural cellular mechanism to shut down the activity of specific genes in mammalian cells cheaply and efficiently. The new technique should speed the exploration of gene function for many research and clinical applications, and may eventually be used in gene therapy to selectively kill cancer cells, to block HIV infection, and for several other purposes (see illustration below).
"There hasn't been a tool this sharp in a long time," says Doug Conklin who, along with Greg Hannon, led the Cold Spring Harbor research team.
The new technique is published in the April 15 issue of Genes and Development. It stems from work in several laboratories, including a discovery made four years ago by Andy Fire of the Carnegie Institute of Washington and Craig Mello of the University of Massachusetts. These scientists found that they could block the expression of a gene in nematode worms by injecting the animals with double stranded RNA corresponding to the gene, or even by simply feeding the animals the double stranded RNA. (Genes are made of DNA. RNA is a chemical cousin of DNA, but has different structure and properties).
Such blockage of gene expression by double stranded RNA was termed "RNA interference"-RNAi, for short. RNAi is now known to operate in humans, mice and other mammals, as well as in fungi, flies, and plants. An early incarnation of the phenomenon was uncovered in 1990 by a horticultural researcher who, when trying to create more purple petunias, achieved an unexpected opposite result (i.e. more white petunias!).
"RNAi took the worm world by storm," says Hannon. Moreover, scientists quickly realized that such a deceptively simple and effective way to block individual genes might be an invaluable tool both for basic research and for treating disease.
Whereas RNAi proved mighty handy to worm geneticists, applying it in human cells has been fraught with challenges. For example, researchers soon found that long stretches of double stranded RNA cause a global, non-specific shutdown of gene activity in many mammalian cell types, culminating in cell suicide. It wasn't until Hannon and others began to explore the precise mechanism of RNAi that they gleaned clues for circumventing the global response and efficiently silencing select genes.
RNAi begins when an enzyme-which Hannon and colleague Emily Bernstein discovered and aptly named Dicer-encounters double stranded RNA and chops it into pieces called small interfering or siRNAs. A complex of proteins gathers up these RNA scraps and uses their code as a guide to search out and destroy any RNAs in the cell with a matching sequence, such as messenger RNA.
Because messenger RNA serves as a template for the production of the proteins that carry out gene function, genes ultimately no longer function if the messenger RNA they code for is targeted for destruction by RNAi.
After scientists learned that long stretches of double stranded RNA frequently trigger cell suicide instead of RNAi, Tom Tushl's group of the Max Planck Institute reasoned that using smaller double stranded RNAs-akin to those produced naturally by Dicer-should do the trick. Indeed, such small RNAs have since become the molecules of choice for RNAi in many laboratories.
Driven in part by their desire for a longer-lasting alternative to small RNAs, Hannon and his Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory colleagues tried using RNAs folded over like hairpins to quash the function of specific genes. They were inspired to try these short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) by their finding, in collaboration with Dutch worm researcher Ronald Plasterk, that some genes naturally regulate other genes-through RNAi-by coding for just such hairpin-shaped pieces of RNA.
In the new study, Hannon and lead author Patrick Paddison showed that in human cells, shRNAs silenced genes as efficiently as siRNAs. The study also established that such short hairpin activated gene silencing (which the researchers playfully termed "SHAGging") operates in a variety of normal and cancer cell lines, and in mouse cells as well as in human cells.
Significantly, the researchers also generated transgenic cell lines bearing chromosomal genes that code for engineered shRNAs. In doing so, they successfully programmed the cells to synthesize the engineered shRNAs and thereby created long-lasting gene silencing that was stably passed on to progeny cells as the cultured cells multiplied.
Hannon has begun to harness the power of RNAi as a tool for gene discovery in cancer research. By using shRNAs to systematically block the expression of thousands of different human genes individually, he aims to identify genes that are essential for the survival of cancer cells, but that are not required for the survival of normal cells. Such genes represent an "Achilles' heel" of cancer cells against which highly selective cancer therapies can be targeted-therapies that would destroy cancer cells while leaving normal cells unscathed (see illustration below).
Hannon is also devising ways to apply RNAi directly as a therapeutic tool. In one approach, he is using small hairpin RNAs to silence known cancer-causing genes ("oncogenes") and thereby control the growth of cancer cells. Other researchers are testing whether shRNAs can silence expression of the cell surface receptor that enables HIV to slip inside cells.
"In many cases, this strategy could translate from benchtop, to animal model, to clinic much more quickly than traditional medicinal chemistry," says Hannon. He predicts that small hairpin RNAs could be incorporated into novel therapeutic approaches within a few years, although additional time would be required for such treatments make their way to the clinic.

England's smallest cathedral city, with a population of 10,000, lies at the foot of the Mendip Hills. Although set in what feels like a quiet country town, the great cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture—the first to be built in the Early English style. The city's name refers to the underground streams that bubble up into St. Andrew's Well within the grounds of the Bishop's Palace. Spring water has run through High Street since the 15th century. Seventeenth-century buildings surround the ancient marketplace, which hosts market days on Wednesday and Saturday.

Very effective, and long lasting. These do not melt in the mouth as quickly as the Jarrow methyl-B12 tablets, so I think I can absorb more of the methylcobalamin. Too bad each tablet only has 1mg of B12!

I definitely notice an energy increase on this. I have moderate ME/CFIDS. I take this with Solgar metafolin throughout the day, sublingually. Also, make sure you have potassium supplements on hand when you take this, to avoid getting leg cramps from low potassium. I was salt loading for orthostatic intolerance before taking this, now I am potassium loading and using only a normal amount of salt. This is a huge difference for me.
Excellent B12 for methylation

Posted by Reviewer2140768 From Australia on Oct 04, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
Effective form of B12 that tastes great and is fast-dissolving. I chew them and let the product diffuse through the membranes of the mouth, which only takes a minute or so. I take B12 early in the day, which tends to have an energising effect. This product is invaluable if you are an under-methylator in which case you may feel fatigued, irritable, susceptible to hayfever, have elevated homocysteine and suffer from sleep problems. You might also benefit from taking extra methionine, however I would not suggest supplementing methionine in the absence of B12 plus a B-complex because B vitamins are essential in driving the methylation cycle and lowering toxic homocysteine levels.
Great Price!! GOOD FOR BARIATRIC PATIENTS!

Best methylcobalamin

Posted by Reviewer1530118 From Netherlands on Apr 03, 2014
Purchased at iHerb
Not all methylcobalamin is the same, there are huge differences in potency and it's not about the mg's. This is the best B12 I've tried. Most sublingual methylcobalamin has no noticeable effect on me. (No B12 alleviates my tiredness, but good B12 products make me sleep deeper.) This works better for me than some 10 mg products. Combined with some adenosylcobalamin the effect is very noticeable. Just don't chew it, but place it under your tongue or lip for maximal absorption.

Maj. Zebulon Pike tries to interview Julien Dubuque in 1805
Appendix 1, letter no. 2 (Prairie du Chien, Sept. 5, 1805)
Major Zebulon Pike passed up the Mississippi in 1805 and visited Julien Dubuque, the first white miner in the lead region for more than a century, at the site of the modern Iowa city that bears his name. Pike asked Dubuque questions about his operation but Dubuque, fearful of international intrigues between the U.S. and the Spanish (who owned the west bank of the Mississippi), withheld as much information as he could about the value of the mines and the extent of his work. Pike's notes nevertheless provide one of the very few contemporary accounts that we have of Dubuque. They are in the "Appendix to Part I" on page 5, and consist of Dubuque's very brief answers to Pike's questions.

Area students earn honors for essays on America
By Erin Sauder For The Courier-News January 27, 2013 10:36PM
Caroline T. Hutton reads her Voice of Democracy Youth Essay Sunday at the Carpentersville VFW. | Erin Sauder photo
Updated: March 1, 2013 6:50AM
After sifting through dozens of essays from area students, the Carpentersville Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5915 and Ladies Auxiliary named three winners of the Voice of Democracy Youth Essay contest.
The winners, who were honored Sunday during a luncheon, were Dundee-Crown High School students Caroline T. Hutton, Zander G. Lopez, and Brandon H. Meng. They were each awarded $200 from the local VFW. The theme for the national contest is different every year. This year's theme was: "Is Our Constitution Still Relevant?" This contest is opened to all high school students each year.
"Can you imagine trying to judge 47 of these and bring something to the top? It's not easy," said Elaine Slack, of Carpentersville VFW Post 15915. "That judging is the worst job in the world."
Also honored during Sunday's luncheon was the Patriot's Pen youth essay contest, for students in sixth through eighth grade. That theme was: "What I Would Tell America's Founding Fathers?" The winner was local student Thomas Stanila.
During Sunday's event, the students read their essays.
Zander Lopez titled his, "The Constitution's Diminishing Relevance." He said even as a proud American citizen, he feels "that the Constitution is not as relevant as it used to be."
"Many recent acts passed by Congress, the President, or the Courts have clear infringements upon either the Bill of Rights or the Constitution itself," Lopez said.
In her essay, Caroline Hutton said the United States has undergone "some incredible changes over the past two centuries."
"Nevertheless, it is important for us, as citizens, to remember and appreciate the document that set us on the path to become the remarkable nation we are today," she said.
In his essay, Brandon Meng said the short answer to whether the Constitution is still relevant is yes.
"The long answer is that our Constitution is still relevant due to the great tools it has been given," he said. "When the Constitution was written, it was given the 'necessary and proper' clause in order to allow some flexibility."
He lauds the checks and balances he says are in place.
"Our nation remains the best at protecting rights in a manner that no one else can surpass," he said.
Meng said it would be very hard for anyone to suggest that the government is no longer a feasible method of running our nation.
"With our fantastic government, we remain a light to the world and bring liberty and justice to those who need it," he said. In his essay regarding what he would tell America's founding fathers, student Thomas Stanila said he would "thank them from the bottom of my heart for their courage and sacrifices."
And while he would also tell them about the education system in place today, the heroes in uniform risking their lives, and the advances in ideas and technology, Stanila said he "would not forget to speak to them of government itself.
"The one they worked so hard to develop a basis for," he said. "Laws and order protect every family across the American nation to work through troubled times and continue our forefathers' dream: to make America a safe and peaceful land for the next generation and beyond."
The day also included Post 5915 giving special recognition to Gary Glen, a teacher from Dundee Crown, Sharon Waterman, a teacher from Sleepy Hollow Elementary, the Voice of Democracy judges, Senator Michael Noland, State Representative Keith Farnham, Carpentersville police and fire departments; Carpentersville Veterans Garden; PADS of McHenry County, PADS of Elgin, Community Crisis Center, Hospice of Northeastern Illinois, Little Angels, Fish Food Pantry, among others.

ACC announces Grant of Rights agreement through 2027
By Zac Ellis
The ACC's member schools have signed a 15-school Grant of Rights agreement through 2027, the league announced Monday. ACCSports.com's David Glenn first reported the news.
"This announcement further highlights the continued solidarity and commitment by our member institutions," said ACC commissioner John Swofford in a statement. "The Council of Presidents has shown tremendous leadership in insuring the ACC is extremely well positioned with unlimited potential."
The move will likely halt conference realignment for the immediate future by drastically decreasing the odds of current ACC teams leaving for another conference. A Grant of Rights agreement involves teams surrendering control of TV rights to the league, meaning the ACC would retain rights to certain media revenue until the deal's conclusion, even if a team left the conference. The ACC already has a $50 million exit fee in place — which Florida State voted against and which Maryland is currently fighting — but this would be a more definitive move toward enhancing the league's stability. The Big 12 was the last major football conference to agree to a Grant of Rights.
MANDEL: Rejoice! ACC deal should halt conference realignment
Jeremy Fowler of CBSSports.com reports that the ACC is in talks with ESPN about establishing its own network, following the model of the Big Ten, Pac-12 and the soon-to-be-announced SEC network.

I have been using the Ginger Orange scent for the last couple of months and really like it. The consistency is somewhere between a normal lotion and a body butter. It absorbs very quickly and a little goes a long way. I normally towel dry after I get out of the shower and then apply this all over my body (with the exception of my face). It leaves a light lingering scent that I really like and doesn't feel greasy. I would recommend their salt scrubs over the gel and lotion if you're wanting to try a single product before purchasing the entire line.
i was really excited to get this product. however that changed when i smelled the product. the consistency is nice, but i am not able to tolerate the smell. i actually tried the mango kiwi scent also and i didn't like the scent of that one either.
Have been using Sabon products for years! Lavender Apple is my favorite scent, goes so while with my body chemistry! The body lotion not only makes my skin look and feel beautiful, I get compliments on the way I smell. Which makes it all the more worth while.
I also suggest trying the milky soap. If you have any skin blemishes the milky soap fades them away within weeks!
I love this product! All the fragrances are good but Lavender Apple is my favorite. I use the Sorbet in Summer and this for winter. Great consistency and moisturizer!

My two friends and I were bullied while we were out riding our horses.
We were enjoying the beautiful day when a woman ran us off the road with her vehicle, forcing us into the muddy, snowy, icy, slippery ditch (we were riding down Lindsay Lane which borders BLM land in the Johnson Lane area).
The woman even drove down the wrong side of the road to force us into the ditch. We were lucky that none of our horses slipped and fell down, or spooked because they were so frightened that a vehicle was driving straight towards them. …

GREAT LITTLE CAR by Bob on 12/10/2012. Trim: 2013 Honda Fit Sport 5-Spd AT, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: getting around 39 mpg...not bad, getting a lot of stuff into such a small car...not bad, getting around town and country roads---zip,zip,zip...not bad. visabillaty all around...not bad. sound system GREAT...not bad. romote lock and alarm HANDY...not bad. sporty looks and handling, fit and finish...not bad. color is red...GREAT-GREAT-GREAT. Not a Fararri , but this little car is a blast to drive and it's not bad on the eyes.
Cons: The speed rated tires are a little hard to find as original brand but other brands are available just a little noisy on this car as it could use some more sound insulation. The car is a little notchy to drive at first, but you get used to it and quickly the driving seems to smooth out. There is not a lot to dislike about this car...it does what it's designed to do VERY WELL.
Overall review: This is a car that I would buy again but probably won't have to because of HONDA'S record of durabilaty.

Nick Saban was surprisingly calm on Wednesday morning's SEC teleconference given some of the questions he was asked.
For example, one reporter asked the Alabama head coach to compare his team, or a one-loss SEC team, to the likes of the nation's unbeatens—Kansas State, Oregon and Notre Dame.
"You have to take the whole body of work that every team does relative to schedule and strength of schedule and I think the system that we have takes those things into consideration," Saban said. "But two really good teams are going to play in the SEC championship game and if that elevates their status, then I think that they deserve to go to the [national championship] game, but I don't really think you can make comparisons, I'm not really in the position to make comparisons relative to what the other teams have done. I'm just focused on our team.
"We'll see what happens."
Difficulty of replicating Johnny Football
As hard as he tries to move on from Alabama's loss to Texas A&M, Saban was asked about the Aggies, namely quarterback Johnny Manziel and how hard it was to mimic him in practice.
"It's very, very difficult," Saban said. "He has a unique talent to not only throw the ball effectively, but has great instinct for when to scramble, where the pressure's coming from, how to evade and extend plays. He's just a unique guy."
He went on to say that a team must be disciplined on defense to contain that type of player, and Alabama's was not.
"I think that's one of the reasons why [Texas A&M] gets off to great starts in games—the tempo play and his ability to extend plays and make plays, especially on third down. He makes a lot of big plays doing what most people aren't capable of doing."
Alabama's defense was unable to get off the field on third down much of the game for the second week in a row as they had trouble doing so against LSU, too. Texas A&M was 11-of-18 on third down.
Going against no-huddle
Saban has been asked several times over the course of the season about uptempo teams and the challenge they present. He admitted that with the amount of fast-paced offenses they've faced this year—Ole Miss, Texas A&M—that, although his team practices "extensively" against the no-huddle, they'll have to do it more in the offseason.
"I think there was eight times [against A&M] that we weren't lined up and they ran a fast ball play against us and that's just not good," Saban said. "It's not good coaching, it's not good for the players to have a chance to be successful and execute so that's something we need to work on more in the offseason and do a better job of."
The follow up questions was regarding quick snaps and how his players react to them.
"We work against those, but it's still hard to simulate in practice," Saban said. "It's something that I think you've got to get the players more adapted to going into the season so that when they face it, it's something that they've had a lot of exposure to."
